E will be ready on and after July 25th, and if set out any time before September 15th, they will grow into fine plants and bear a full crop of luscious fruit the next spring, being a clear gain of one year uver the “ground layer’’ plants usually supplied by others, which is certainly worth much more thai the slight differences in first cost.
Pot-Grown Strawberry Plants are much superior to the ordinary ground layers usually sold, as there is no loss of fine roots in taking them up, and they can be shipped safely to distant parts of the United States and Canada, and be transplanted at any season, and it scarcely checks their growth; the earlier the pot-grown plants can be planted after August ist, the larger they will grow and the more they will produce the next spring.
We do not offer a long list of varieties in Strawberries, but only such as may be considered the best of existing sorts.
2" Send in your orders at once, as we will fill orders in the rotation they are received. Our first crop ot plants will be ready about July 25th. Small lots of plants can be mailed if 10c. per dozen is added to the prices to cover postage but as we have to wash the ball of earth from the roots to reduce the weight and postage, it is advisable to have larger quantities go by express, so the earth may not be disturbed.

& &# » BRIEF DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE. * * »%
Strawberries require rich, well-tilled soil, the plants should be set 15 inches apart, in rows 2 feet apart ; 100 plants will plant 4 rows, 30 feet long ; an acre requires 14.520 plants if set at the above distance, but for horse cultivation they should be set 2 feet apart, in rows 3 feet apart requiring 7,260 plants for anacre. Firm the plants well in the soil, keep thoroughly cultivated and cut off all runners. In the middle of December, cover the beds to a depth of 8inches with salt meadow hay, straw or leaves. In April, or as soon as the plants show an indication of growth push the coverings away from the plants to allow them to come up through. This ‘‘mulching” protects the plants from the cold in
winter and the heat in summer, keeps the fruit clean and prevents the growth of weeds.
PERFECT —versus—IMPERFECT FLOWERING STRAWBERRIES.
The blossoms of strawberries are either bi-sexual (perfect flowering) or are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate (imperfect flowering). Pistillate varieties must have a row of a perfect flowered sort, planted every nine or twelve feet apart among them, or, better yet, every third or fourth plant in the row, to pollenize their blossoms. When properly fertilized the pistillate varieties are usually the most prolific.
BI-SEXUAL. PISTILLATE.

French Everbearing «««
“SAINT-ANTOINE DE PADOUE.”
HIS NEW large fruiting French Everbearing Strawberry possesses remarkable characteristics when grown under congenial conditions. Our pot-grown plants of these—set out this summer should fruit bountifully the following spring, and continue to bear, though more sparingly, throughout the summer. In addition to this, the plants” throw out strong runners which form new plants, and if not cut from the parent plants will also fruit the same
season, thus giving a continuous supply of delicious strawberries until frost. This remarkable strawberry is the result of a cross, produced in France, between the everbearing “Saint Joseph’’ and the famous English strawberry ‘Royal Sovereign,” and it has proven to be superior to all other perpetual strawberries. It is of compact, vigorous growth, the fruit stalks are strong and erect, carrying the fruit well above the foliage. The fruit is large and of a rich dark red color—handsome and uniform in shape—firm, of delicious flavor, and keeps exceedingly well. It is a true perpetuay strawberry producing splendid berries during the whole summer up to October, and is also adapted for forcing for winter fruiting. The French gardeners when they want an abundance of late fruit, cut off the first flowers from the large plants and also keep the runners cut which throws the vigor into the late fruit; others, besides keeping the flowers cut from the large plants, allow three or four first runners to root only, thus throwing the strength of the parent plant into the young plants and depend upon these to furnish the late fruit. It received a first-class certificate from the “Societe Nationale d’ Horticulture de France.” Price, (fot-grown plants) l5c. each; $1.25 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.

“We congratulate you more than ever on the introduction of this strawberry. The first shipment was a surprise to ug as well as toour customers.

“Great Ruby” fills all of these requirements in a superlative degree. In our fifty years of experience in testing, growing and hybridizing strawberries, there has been no variety that we could send out with the abiding confidence that we have in Henderson's “Great Ruby,” proving highly satisfactory to all purchasers. The healthy, vigorous growth, remarkable productiveness, immense size, handsome uniform shaps, deep lustrous crimson color, and, above all, the rich luscious flavor combined with the delightful aroma, ren- der Henderson's ‘Great Ruby” peerless among strawberries. It commences to ripen soon after the early varieties, and bears until nearly all others are gone. The luxuriant growth of the plant and its remarkable deep-rooting qualities enableit to produce beautifullarge berrieseven during a dry season when other varieties are withered and fruitless.

While we do not claim for this variety SECA OLN ALY size of fruit, yet it produces it in such abundance that the aggregate weight will compare favorably with the best of the large-berried sorts.

Thenumber of new strawberries annually introduced 1S So great that we almost hesitate to add to the list, but this new variety has so many desirable qualities that we believe it deserves recognition and dissem ination.
It has been thoroughly tested among the many kinds of new and old that we have growing; it has many points of superiority, being conspicuous for its size, shape, color and quality.
In size itis unusually large; shape roundish, inclin- ing to conical, but sometimes flattened or coxcombed ; color crimson, flesh moderately firm and quality ex good. The plant is vigorous, healthy and a great yielder.
We can confidently recommend it forthe home gar- den and also for nearby market.

“It has been my privilege many times during
the past three seasons to observe the habits and characteristics of thisnew seedling The plant is large and healthy and so vigorous in growth that it will mature its last berries and continue such a nice dark green that it is a pleasure to walk among them. The bloom js perfect and one of the richest in potlen. Time of ripening is with the first Crescent, and con- tinues until nearly all the others are gone. The berries are all of large size. The plant, with its habit of growth, its productive- ness and beauty, is without a peer. The fruitisa bright shiny red and uniformly large, firm and attractive. The flesh is firmer than most large berries and is of excellent flavor. All pointsconsidered, I regard it as a very remarkable variety, and it will be a valuable addition to the list of every one who givesit a fair trial’

We are unquestionably the largest raisers of Celery Plants in the world, and our meth- ods are such that we invariably have the plants in the finest possible condition.
We draw special attention to our Transplanted Celery Plants.
The result of transplanting is seen in the dense mass of fibrous roots that these plants possess, and on this account with ordinary care they are much easier to transplant, and are more certain to do well.

WHITE PLUME.
A Self-Blanching Celery. White Plume.
People who never grew celery before have no trouble in growing and blanching Henderson’s White Plume Cel- ery ready for the table, for no * banking-up”’ isnecessary. The stalks, portions of inner leaves and heart are white, naturally, so that by simply_ tying the plant together, or by drawing the soil against it, pressing it with the hands and then repeating the operation to hold the soil already
laced against the plant in position, the work of blanching is completed. Henderson’s White Plume Celery is crisp, succulent, and has a delicious, nutty flavor. (See opposite page for price of plants.) Henderson’s Golden Dwarf.
In size, habit and growth it is much the same as the above, except that when blanched the heart, whichis large and full, is of a waxy golden yellow, rendering it a most striking and showy variety for either market or private use. It is solid, of excellent flavor and one of the best winter keepers. (Sve opposite page for price of plants.)
Boston Market.
A great favorite around Boston. The leaves are dark green, the stalks when blanched nearly white. It is an excellent variety, solid, crispandtender. (Seeopfosrte page Sor price of plants.)
Golden Self-Blanching.
A most valuable variety which partakes somewhat of the character of the celebrated ‘* White Plume,” inasmuch as it does not require such high ‘‘banking-up”’ as the ordinary sorts to be fitted forthe table. It simply needsa slight earthing up or “handling.” It is of a beautiful waxy golden color, very solid and of rich nutty flavor. (See opposite page for price of plants.)
Golden Rose Celery.
A development of ‘‘ Golden Self-Blanching ” having the same strong, stocky growth with broad. solid and brittle stalks, free from ridges and stringiness. It blanches naturally, is very early, hardy and a perfect keeper ; the flavor is exquisite, while the beautiful coloring renders it unusually attractive, the golden colored stalks are suf- fused with a rosy hue fading towards the top, which are surmounted with yellowish plume-like foliage.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING, BOSTON MARKET,
Menderson’s Half Dwarf.
Blanches of a yellow white, it is entirely solid, posess- ing arich, nutty flavor, while it has much vigor of growth, surpassing most of large growing sorts in weight of bunch. (See opposite page for price of plants.)
Giant Pascal.
A selection from Golden Self-Blanching Celery ; it par- takes of the best qualities of that variety, but is larger and a better keeper. It is of a fine nutty flavor, grows about 2 feet high; the stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, and entirely stringless, the width and thickness of the stalks are distinctive features, It bleaches with but slight “ earthing-up "”’ and very quickly, usually in five or six days. Valuable for both early and mid-winter. (Sve offo- site page for price of plants.)
Giant White Solid.
The best of the larger growing sorts, attaininga height under good cultivation of 3feet. It should never be planted closer than 4 feet between the rows, or it cannot be worked properly. This variety is most suitable for southern sec- tions of the country, as it grows freely in a hot or dry at- mosphere, (See opposite page for price of plants.)
HMenderson’s New Rose Celery.
Has that nutty flavor so desirable in celery. very ornamental on the table, the delicate tracing of carmine blending with the white in the blanched stalks. (See offo- site page for price of plants.)
London Red.
Of medium growth, of stiff, clcse habit, large heart, remarkably solid and crisp. and of fine walnut-like flavor. (See opposite page for price of plants.)
Pink Plume Celery.
An intermediate between white and red celeries, com- bining the good qualities of both. Itis practically iden- tical with our “ White Plume,” but with the added merit of the solid succulent stalks of ivory white being exqui- sitely suffused with pink anc possessing the crispness, rich nutty flavor, and long-keeping qualities for which red celeries are noted. In addition to its choice “ red- celery flavor,” it is of remarkable attractiveness. (See

Henderson’s Long Island Improved Purple Top Ruta Baga.
This is undoubtedly the finest variety of purple-top Ruta Baga, and is purely of American origin, havin been originated by one of our Long Island growers. It is twice the size of ordinary American stocks, aaa although size is usually got at the expense of quality, the quality of this variety for domestic purposes is superior to any we have tested. It first came under our notice as a prize winner, and we feel certain that from its enor- mous size, solidity and good quality, it will prove to be a champion variety for exhibition purposes. Ina fair test on several Long Island farms, alongside some of the best European and American varieties, it produced al- most twice the weight per acre of any other variety.

HE best soil for Mangels is loose, friable loam and deep plowing.
If expedient, follow the plow with a subsoil plow, and the crop
will more than repay the extra trouble. The ground should be well enriched, and the seed sown in drills 24 inches apart in light soils, and 30 inches apart in strong rich land. Thin out the plants with a hoe to g inches apart in the former, and 12 inches apart in the latter. Six to 8 pounds of seed are used per acre if sown with a drill, or double that quantity if sown by hand. Cultivate with a horse hve.

MILLET, FOR SUMMER SOWING.
(Prices subject to Variation.)
Millets are valuable as “‘catch” or “stolen” crops, especially in sea- sons when the hay cropis short. They are annuals, and grow ra idly, usually being ready for cutting in six weeks from seed sowing, an they withstand severe droughts generally remaining green when other crops
are parched up. If cut when in blossom, Miilets cure into excellent hay, ) if allowed to ripen, they become too woody. Sow from May Ist to Au- gust Ist.

Especially valuable for the Northern and New England States. gp es \,
Entirely distinct from any other Millet, grows 6 to 8 feet high and roduces an enormouscrop. Stands remarkably well notwithstanding its great height, and yields from 10 to 12 tons green fodder per acre. When cured it makes an excel- lent quality of hay. and its feeding value is far superior to corn fodder. and it is much relished by all kinds of stock,
; é whether green or cured. If to be made , into hay, cure as you would a heavy / crop of clover. ff
This Millet does not endure drought well, except it be sown early in retent- ive soil, and it is not recommended for the Southern States; but north of Washington, and especially for good, rich soils. we confidently recommend its general cultivation.
Tt may be sown from the middle of May to the.rst of July, broadcast, at the rate of 1s lbs per acre, but tt ts better to sowtlindrills, r2 to 18 inches apart, using 10 to 12 lbs. per acre, and hoed be- tween the rows to keep down all weeds until the plant attains a height of 12 to 18 inches. when tts rapid growth will smother all weeds.

HUNGARIAN MILLET.
° *I1.4 Is the quickest Hungarian Millet of catch crops for hay, and may be sown any time up to middle of August; it is invaluable for overcoming a shortage of the regular hay crop. Many farmers now occupy their land with other crops, and for their hay depend entirely on Hungarian Grass. which they can sow after other crops have been harvested. Sow 1 bushel per acre. 10c. lb., $1 80 bushel, $3.50 per 100 1bs., 10 bushels and up- wards, $1.75 per bushel.
’ ? Considerably larger than German or Go'den Millet. Henzarian 2nd yields a much heavier crop, but is later, consequently cannot be sown much after the dth of July in this latitude. To maintain its heavy cropping character, seed of this variety needs to be Speciany cultivated. Our seed is specially grown and selected, and will produce nearly double the crop of seed not so grown and which can be offered at a cheaper price. Sow 1 bushel per acre. 10c. lb , $2.25 bushel, $4.25 per 100 lbs , 10 bushels and up- wards, $2.00 per bushel.
: The value of Scarlet Crimson.or Scarlet Clover. Ciover is now thor- oughly established, and we recommend that all lands from which crops have been harvested during the summer and fall should be sown with Scarlet Clover for plowing under the fol- lowing spring. Authorities who have made a careful estimate state that plowing under a good crop of Scarle, Cloveris equiv- alent to 20tcns of stable manure per acre, and even if the Clo- ver be harvested or pastured, tie benefits derived from the wonderful nitrorenous root formation will alone many times repay the cost of seed and labor.
t may be sown among corn, tomatoes, turnips, etc, at time of last hoeing, or after potatoes melons, cucumbers have been harvested or on prain stubble and harrowed in. When sown in July and early in Auyust, it has proved hardy as far north as Michigan and Canada.

Is perfectly hardy throughout the Uni- ted States, remaining green all winter, and shouid be sown during August and September, mixed ‘th Rye, whichserves asa support forthe plants, or in spring with Oats or Barley.
It grows to a height of 4to 5 feet and is the earliest crop for cutting, being nearly a month earlier than Scarlet Clover, and a full crop can be taken off the land in time for planting spring crops. Being much hardier than Scarlet Clover. this is the forage plant to sow in the Northern States. where Scarlet Clover winter kills, though it is equally valuable in the South.
It is exceedingly nutritious, much more so than Clover. is eaten with relish and may be fed with safety to all kinds of stock.

JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT.
Introduced into cultivation by usin 1887, and by constant se- lection we have fully maintained the large grain, totally unlike the small grain usually found on the market. :
This variety has superseded all others and is now almost uni- versally grown in preference to the common black and Silver Hull varieties. The kernels are at least twice the size of those of any other variety, and of a shape peculiar and distinct. The color is also most distinct, being a rich dark shade of brown. The straw is heavier, it branches more, and does not need to be sown as thickly as the other kinds. Flour made fromit is greater in quantity and equalin quality if not superior to that of any other Buckwheat, and, as the yield shows. it is enormously prol- ific. It ripens a week earlier than the Silver Hull, and yields two or’three times as much. (See cu/.) $1.50 per bushel, 10 bushel lots, $1.4) per bushel.

TRUE DWARF ESSEX RAPE.
Valuable for Cattle, Sheep and Hogs.
In the United States we have millions of acres of good land that annually lie idle or run to weeds the latter part of the season, after the grain, potato and hav crops have been harvested, a large portion of which might be made to produce one of the fin- est feeds imaginable, and in the greatest abund- ance, atatime when cattle, sheep and hogs are roaming through bare pastures in search of a scanty living. Under favorable conditions it is ready for pasturing sheep or cattle within six weeks from time of sowing, and on an average one acre will carry twelve to fifteen sheep six weeks totwo months. When onthe Rape they should at all times have access to salt; but water is not nec- essary. There are several varieties of Rape, but care should be taken to procure the Dwarf Essex, or English, as it is sometimes called. which does not seed the same season as sown, unless in some exceptional cases, as when sown too early and the young plant is touched by frost. In the Northern States it snould be sown from April to end of Au- gust for fall pasturing, but as it thrives best in cool weather, it should not be sown in the Southern States until September, or October for winter pas- ture. In the latitude of New York it should be sown in April, or in July or August. Its fattening properties are probably twice as good as those of Clover, and for Sheep the feeding value of Rape ex- cels ail other plants we know of. At the Michigan Experiment Station, 128 lambs were pastured for eight weeks on 15 acres of Rape sown in July. and showed a gain of 2,890 lbs.. or at the rate of 3lbs. per lamb each week. Even so far South as Ala- bama it has proved a boon to the farmer. In a recent bulletin pub- lished by the Alabama Experiment Station, they state: “Quality of prcanc good for both hogs and cat- le. The growth was enormous. By repeated sowings it will and did carry more hogs through our dry, hot summers than four times the amount of land planted in anything else ever grown here. 1 would rec- ommend it to all Southern farmers.” To secure the best results, the Rape should be sown in drills. Sow four lbs. per acre broadcast. two to three lbs. per acre in drills. (See cut). Price of True Dwarf Essex Rape, 10c. 1b., $3.75 per bushel of 60 Ibs., 100 lbs., $7.50. If by mail, add 8c. per lb.

The Henderson ** AL L=-BEARING” “newer” High Wheel 74 Mower. INVENTION’S RIPEST FRUIT! HAS BEARINGS LIKE A BICYCLE! THE LIGHTEST WORKING MOWER MADE.
A 24-inch cut pushes as easily as an ordinary Mower a A lawn may now be mown in one-half the time re- of only 16-inch cut. wt quired with old style narrow-cut Mowers.
The ‘‘Henderson Ball-Bearing’? Lawn Mower is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects: The axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in ‘‘ball-bearing’’ journal boxes or cups which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are made of the finest case-hardened steel, and will Jast for years, though we have provided against wear should there be any—so that any one. by simply loosening one screw and tightening an- other, can force the cup and balls higher up the cone-shaped ends of the revolving shaft. thereby taking up all possible wear. This adjustment is so simple, yet positive. that it can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other respects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A 24-inch cuts the grass as easily as a 16-inch old style Mower.
‘A wide-cut Mower, in addition to doing the work a great deal quicker, lasts much longer than a narrow-cut Mower, for there is less wear ; in other words. if it requires 100 times around with a 12-inch Mower to cut a lawn, it wil) only take fifty times around to cut it with a 24-inch Mower.
The ‘‘Henderson Ball-Bearing” is strictly a high-class Mower ; we have not endeavored to make it “cheap” but the best we know how-— from the highest quality of iron and steel. which has enabled us to ve1y materially reduce the weight. The castings are lathe turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed. which insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play The knives, of the finest steel and temper, are soarp and cut like razors. and will keep so if the under knife is kept tightened up to the revol ing knives; for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and. in consequence, are self-sharpe g. Wehave sosim fied the adjustments in our new Ball-Bearing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics will have no trouble in always keeping our Mower in fine cutting order, and the lawn in uninjured-condition.
The ‘‘Henderson Ball-Bearing’’ Mower has high drive wheels, both of which are connected by ‘‘train gears’ to the large, oper, non-clog- ging cylinder placed far enough back to prevent any “kicking up” of the Mower when it strikes heavy grass. The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give a con- tinuous cut leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left by other Mowers. ‘The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of the Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped withimproved ‘grips ” which keeps the handsina natural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than a continued grasp. with wrists twisted. on a horizontal grip.
We wish to reiterate that™ our ‘“Hlenderson Ball-Bearing’” Mower is made without regard to cost—to be the best, most durable, and the easiest working Mower on the mar- ket. and while the prices are neces- sarily a little higher than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in

THE “HENDERSON” HORSE LAWN MOWER.
This is the best horse-power mower manufactured ; simple in construction, very durable, nothing but the very best steelandironis putinit. It is quickly adjusted to cut high or low, and the arrangement for throwing in and out of gear and for raising the knives when passing over stones, rough places or roads is operated from the seat.
